Sunday sunshine!

Our snow is g-o-n-e . . . for now. The forecast is for some snow mixed with rain tomorrow morning but thankfully without any accumulation. Spring is definitely a bit late this year!

All I know is that today was an incredibly sunny, blue sky kind of day and I embraced it.

This morning I was up at 5:50, the norm. At 8:00 I was washing windows, inside and out. The sun was so bright and I needed as much light to shine in as possible. My Sunday would have been perfect had it not been for the wind. I'd love to rake out the garden but the wind was blustery and rather bitter. The poor peepers aren't ever going to be able to peep!

Yesterday while at TJ Maxx I purchased the flower holder behind the sink (my faucet is rather ascew). It's au naturale and desperately needs to be painted. Since it was mixed in with a beach display at the store it's supposed to look like raw, weathered wood. I'm not a fan. I'll have to give it a rubbed look around the edges after it's' painted.

All of these photos were taken today, including Miss Luna

And this is my new iPad 2. Last Wednesday I just happened to get lucky and find one at a local Walmart. My girlfriends husband ordered one from Apple and they said it would be an 8 week wait! Holy cow!

While my husband and I were at TJ Maxx yesterday I found some several carrying cases to choose from in all different fabrics. I couldn't decide which one to choose so I bought two! They were only $9.99 each so that's not bad. The orange for Summer and blue for Winter. Or whatever. Now I just need to find a cover for the iPad itself before it gets broken. I still haven't taken the plastic cover off it for fear of scratching it.

When it comes to expensive electronics I really try to take good care of them and with good reason. My mom recently dropped my iPhone into a bucket of water at work. YIKES!!! Luckily I had the best Otterbox cover on it you could get or it would have been ruined. And with teenagers in the house, well, you probably know how that goes when it comes to electronics.

Na, you wouldn't want to come here right now - I'd rather be where you are, lol!! Overcast this morning, but the sun poked out this afternoon and melted some more snow. Car wash lines were long!! Another few weeks and it should be lovely here too. God bless!

Beautiful photos, cat, light, flowers, and--well, everything! I can't wait to see what you do with the flower holder. Just want to say that I'm awfully glad you are still blogging and am thankful for every beautiful post.

Like your window treatment on your kitchen window - very pretty. Luna is such a pretty kitty. Beautiful tulips.Weather here? Low 80's, extremely windy and storms moving in during the night into tomorrow. Wind has really been bad here - had to put umbrella down to keep it from blowing over and taking the table with it across the courtyard.

Hey gal, it was 78 here in Louisville and as much as I wanted to go out and enjoy I couldn't as I have cold in my eye and it's not good. But I did step outside for one minute to breathe in the wonderful wind and feel the sun and then hopped back in the house. Carol

I am in Massachusetts, practically the same story but we don't not get as much snow on the coast. I went for a lovely walk at the beach and saw egrets for the first time since October, yahoo. I love the green eyed Luna photo, magic.

I love your kitchen sink and all that surrounds it! Your home should be in a decorating magazine. :) Photos are all wonderful too. I am sooo happy that you are blogging again . . . I would definitely miss my taste of New England without you.

What did I do today? Well, I'm in New England, too, so enjoyed the sun. Checked out a new Five (dollars) and Under store. Made a goat cheese omlette and fried platanos for breakfast. Just enjoyed every moment of the day.

So fun to see the inside of your home and I love your new flower holder at the sink. So cheerful. Your toile valance and transferware are gorgeous. So glad your snow is gone. You all have had more than your share.Cindy

I love your kitchen sink/window vignette! Beautiful! We had the same weather here - sunny, blue skies, cool wind. Same today but rain tomorrow - and warmer :-) Have fun with your iPad! And, I hope it warms up for you too.

I always enjoy looking at your decorating ..I used to subscribe to Victoria Mag when I had a fixed foundation...

You kittie is adorable..remind me of my ballie..except he has a flat face:)

I am glad you are enjoying your Ipad..I know I will too when i get mine..but I will wait till we get to CT. On my itouch I use Zagg protector for the screen..Its the best! I have tried others but they all buckle and are crap...I know they make them for Ipad and they are guaranteed for life.Check out the linkhttp://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/apple-ipad-3g-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

I just found you and I am trying to decide if I have been here before. (I am getting so old and there are so many blogs:)I looked back to see if I could figure out where you were. I am in Central NH.Today we were snow in the morning and a cold rain the rest of the day.I am so ready for spring.cathy

Oh how did I miss this post? : ) I love that poppy tray - oh my. Would you believe Carlos already ordered me a custom case and it arrived about a week ago. It will be outdated by the time my Ipad arrives. Love the flower images, and your kitchen looks fabulous! When are you going to invite me over again??? hmmm? : )

It's not too warm here, yet, darn. I'm still basking in the 72º days I experienced in the South. But, hey, congrats on getting your iPad!!! I'm so glad you did! I definitely put covers on my devices, too. xo
